STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,208, dated April 11, 1882,

Application filed January 10, 1882. (No model.)

.To all whom it lmay concern Beit known that I, J osEPIr L. GOBEILLE,

of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Stoves, Ranges,

&c.; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and complete description 1o the holding capacity ofthe ovens of cookingl thereof.

The purpose of this invention is to increase stoves, ranges, 86o., so that a stove of a certain size may have an oven much larger than the oven of a stove or range of the same number or size made in the ordinary way without enlarging the general structure of the stovethat is to say, a No. 6 stove with my improvement will have an oven nearly as large as or larger than the oven vof a No. 7, and a No. 7 will have an oven approaching in size or larger than that of a No. S, and so on, without enlarging the general structure of the stove, as aforesaid. A full and complete description of the said invention is as follows, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making'a part of this specification, in which- Figure l shows a vertical transverse section of a stove, 'taken through the oven. Fig. 2 is a horizoiital section. Fig. 3 is a detached sec-v tion.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views.

As aforesaid, the general construction of the stove or range is or may be like those in ordinary use. Hence a brief description only is deemed essential for a full understandingof the improvement, in view of which A represents the oven of a stove; B, the top plate thereof; C, the top of the stove; D, the bottom of the oven 5 E and E, the sides or jambs. F is the middle flue; G Gr, the side flues, (the fire place or box is not shown,) all of which are or may be like stoves in common use, as aforesaid.

In ordinary stoves the ends of the oven terminate directly at the doors. This transverse length of the oven is therefore no longer than the width ofthe body of the stove, which as a consequence is more or less, according to the size ofthe stove. Hence the holding capacity of the ovens is alike in all stoves of the same number and size and ofthe same pattern.

In order to increase the size of the oven I without a corresponding enlargement of the entire stove, I extend the bottom of the oven beyond the sides of the stove, as seen at I in Fig. l, in which tbe vertical lines E E represent the plane of the sides of the stove, beyond which the bottom D of the oven extends on each side some two and a halfinches, (more or less,) thereby adding some ve inches to the length ofthe bottom without increasing the wid-th of the body of the stove. That these extensions of the bottom of the oven may be inclosed by the doors, said doors are made with a deep flange, a, along the top and down the sides thereof, so that when they are shut the edges of the flanges will close upon the sides or jambs ofthe oven, similar to the doors of an ordinary stove, thereby making the length of the oven-bottom from door to door, J K, some live inches longer than the ovenbottom would be in the same sized stove constructed in the ordinary way, which would be from E to E in Fig. 1. It will be obvious that this enlargement of the oven adds to the working value and usefulness of the stove by Inak-A ing a small-sized stove with a large oven.

It will be seen in Fig. 1 that the lower edge ot' the oven-door is not provided with a flan ge, as are the sides and top. The lower edge, being without'aflange, drops down below the ex tension and close upon it, as shown in said Fig. l. This omission of a flange along the Alower edge of the door is made when the side fines, G, are wide, as selen in said Fig. 1. It' 85 the structure of the stove is such that the ilues Gr are narrower, as shown in Fig. 3, a flange along the lower edge of the door will be required, as seen at N, which corresponds to the upper and side flanges.

In Fig. 2 the extension I' of the oven is shown with the door J' on the opposite side. i

The broken lines c c indicate the sides of the body of the stove or range, and o the transverse length of an ordinary stoveoven, but largely increased by the two extensions I I', which, as before remarked, may be applied to all stoves provided with an oven. The extension thus made by the oven-bottom serves as a rest for the baking-pan, &c., when partially pulled from the oven for examination, basting, &c.

IOO

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 1. In cooking stoves and ranges, an-oven having the bottom thereof extended beyond 5 one or both sides of the stove, und provided with a door adapted to cover the said eXtension and the doorway of the oven, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.

2. In cooking stoves and ranges, an oven ro having the bottom plate thereof extended beyond the doorway of said oven, thereby adding to the transverse length of the oven-bottom, substantially as setforth, and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature 15 in presence of two witnesses.
